Upgrading ships

from GalCiv2 Forums
I am having problems upgrading ships. I either missed something or it is a bug. Most likely I missed it for I am new to this game. Whenever a new ship upgrade comes available, I don't seem to be able to upgrade that class of ship. I see the upgrade screen with the items that can be upgraded but the cost to upgrade is shown as zero. What is the sequence to upgrade? Do I have to manually upgrade that class of ship first, save it as the same name and then request that all ships of that class be upgraded? How can you upgrade stock ships if you cannot save them with the same name?

Core Ship designs can't be upgraded at this point, only user designs can be.

This is as we intended (since some core ships get custom bonuses) but will be adding a new feature in a future update (a "Duplicate" button or something) that will let you update any designs by removing all the components and leaving the hull and jewelry.
